Abstract
The proposed by Symanzik approach for the modeling of interaction of a macroscopic material body with quantum fields is considered. Its application in quantum electrodynamics enables one to establish the most general form of the action functional describing the interaction of 2-dimensional material surface with photon field. The models making it possible to calculate for thin films from non-ideal conducting material the Casimir energy, Casimir-Polder potential, characteristics of scattering processes and investigation of magneto- and electrostatic phenomena are presented. The specific of regularization and renormalization procedures used by calculations and the physical meaning of obtained results are discussed.
